I am offline on rescue work till the February!!!Till then Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!From Buff-Buff

To those who think they don't have much to offer to a stray or abandoned dog, this is a good read.

When humans die, they write their last Will & Testament, give their home and all they have to those they leave behind. If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I'd ask.

To a poor an

d lonely stray I'd give:

My happy home. My bowl and cozy bed, soft pillows and all my toys. The lap that I loved so much. The hand that stroked my fur and the sweet voice that spoke my name.

I'd will to the sad scared shelter dog the place I had in my human's loving heart, of which there seemed no bounds.

So when I die, please do not say "I will never have a pet again for the loss and pain is more than I can stand." Instead, go find an unloved dog. One whose life has held no joy or hope and give MY place to him.

This is the only thing I can give......the love I left behind.

The pain is great, but the love you left is even greater.Thank you for being a part of our life.Buffy, Willow, Queeny and your biggest love Sunny. I miss seeing you both playing together and kissing each other.

Hello to all my friends, I want to thank you all for all the caring and love, you all are sending to Sunny. Thank you from deep in my heart.

To all wanna be friends. Be aware, I do send petitions, I forward messages that have the need to be spread. If you are not interested in this side of care2. Think twice before becoming my friend. I am in care2, to help animals and find friends who feels the same kind of passion towards animals like I do.

I am a dog. I am a living, breathing animal. I feel pain, joy, love, fear and pleasure.

I am not a thing. If I am hit - I will bruise, I will bleed, I will break. I will feel pain. I am not a thing.

I am a dog. I enjoy playtime, walk time, but more than anything, I enjoy time with my pack - my family - my people. I want nothing more than to be by the side of my human. I want to sleep where you sleep and walk where you walk. I am a dog and I feel love...I crave companionship.

I enjoy the touch of a kind hand and the softness of a good bed. I want to be inside of the home with my family, not stuck on the end of a chain or alone in a kennel or fenced yard for hours on end. I was born to be a companion, not to live a life of solitude.

I get too cold and I get too hot. I experience hunger and thirst. I am a living creature, not a thing.

When you leave, I want to go with you. If I stay behind, I will eagerly await your return. I long for the sound of your voice. I will do most anything to please you. I live to be your treasured companion.

I am a dog. My actions are not dictated by money, greed, or hatred. I do not know prejudice. I live in the moment and am ruled by love and loyalty.

Do not mistake me for a mindless object. I can feel and I can think. I can experience more than physical pain, I can feel fear and joy. I can feel love and confusion. I have emotions. I understand perhaps more than you do. I am able to comprehend the words you speak to me, but you are not always able to understand me.

I am a dog. I am not able to care for myself without your help. If you choose to tie me up and refuse to feed me, I will starve. If you abandon me on a rural road, I will experience fear and loneliness. I will search for you and wonder why I have been left behind. I am not a piece of property to be dumped and forgotten.

If you choose to leave me at a shelter, I will be frightened and bewildered. I will watch for your return with every footfall that approaches my kennel run.

I am a dog - a living, breathing creature. If you choose to take me home, please provide me with the things that I need to keep me healthy and happy.

Provide me with good food, clean water, warm shelter and your love. Do not abandon me. Do not kick me. Do not dump me when your life gets too busy. Make a commitment to me for the entirety of my life, or do not take me home in the first place.

If you desert me, I do not have the means to care for myself. I am at the mercy of the kindness of people - if I fall into the wrong hands, my life will be ruined.

I will experience pain, fear and loneliness. If I wind up in an animal shelter, I have only my eyes to implore someone to save me, and my tail to show you that I am a friend. If that is not good enough, I will die.

I am a dog. I want to give and receive love. I want to live. I am not a thing. I am not a piece of property. Please do not discard me. Please treat me with kindness, love and respect. I promise to repay you with unconditional love for as long as I live.

My addition to this is: I am a he or a she, not a it!!!!

Something to think about.

Leaving Your Pet in a Parked Car Can Be a Deadly MistakeHSUS

Never leave your pet unattended in a parked car for any period of time. On a warm day, the temperature in a parked car can reach 120F in a matter of minutes -- seven with the car windows partially open. Your pet can quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke or suffocation when trapped in high temperatures.

This is what you should do if your pet is exposed to high temperatures:

* Be alert for the signs of heat stress -- heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting, or a deep red or purple tongue. * If your pet becomes overheated, you must lower his body temperature immediately. * Move your pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over her body to gradually lower her body temperature. * Apply ice packs or cold towels to your pet's head, neck, and chest only. * Let your pet drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. * Finally, take your pet directly to a veterinarian -- it could save your pet's life.

If you see an animal in a car exhibiting any signs of heat stress, call your local animal care and control agency or police department immediately!

You don't just expose your pet to the dangers of heat stress when you leave him in a car, you also expose him to pet theft. Thousands of pets are stolen each year from unattended cars.

Taking your pet for a ride may seem like fun, but many pets prefer to spend time with you in the comfort and safety of your home. Explore activities that you and your pet can share at home and avoid taking risks by leaving your pet in the car.

If you must take your pet with you in your car, do so safely: Cats should ride in pet carriers, and dogs should ride in travel crates or be on a leash. When a pet travels, she should wear two ID tags -- one with a home address and one with a destination address.
